Any thoughts on the Lesnar-Coulter fight on November 15th?

[Osborn F. Enready]

I think Randy has experience on Lesner, but I think Randy is past his prime.

If Lesner has been studying submission, as he should have been since his first fights.... I think Couture has a suprise coming.

I wouldn't bet money on this fight, but I am hoping to see Lesner win.

My favorite MMA fighter is Fedor Emilianenko... I don't see anyone holding a candle to Fedor for a while....

[Milton Bradley]

Heh, Osborn, your way off on this one.


Couture is going to illusrate why technique over brawn is the superiour philosophy. Just as he did with TIm Sylvia.

[KSTornado]

Tim Sylvia would not last long with Lesner. Lesner has a lot of speed and much more power than Sylvia has plus he has a real wrestling back ground. I am 50-50 on this fight. I am rooting for Lesner mostly because I feel if keeps getting better that there will be no one to stop him and I am ticked off with Coulter with his debacle with the UFC even though he should have more money and control of his own marketing but he needs to realise his fan base is huge (Yes, I think he is the rgeatest of all time and am a big fan) and I feel he leet some of us down this past year.

He's off on MMA entirely.

Randy should win this. He's the better fighter.

[Elrathin]

Lesner is a power house but that is the only game he really has. His first fight proved he was not ready for the UFC.

I don't think Randy can go toe to toe with Lesner, but then that is not all what the UFC is about. I predict Randy will win via submission.

Yea, I will file that opinion right inside my circular file next to other uninformed opinions... mr "no defense against a takedown"..... LOL

It takes more than sitting on a couch with a beer in your hand watching the UFC to be knowledgable about martial arts.

Where's that video of your brother?

Save me any more "professional opinion" in regards to BJJ or any other martial arts. You were exposed for knowing nothing and trying to bullshit us into thinking you're knowledgable. Go away.

To everyone except Os, who is everyone's favorite fighters? Obviously my tastes run towards those with BJJ and grappling but I like all the Gracies, BJ Penn, Matt Serra, Anderson Silva, GSP, Stephan Bonnar, etc... In Pride I love Fedor Emelianenko. He may be the baddest man on the planet.

Who are your favorites?

[KSTornado]

Forrest Griffen
GSP
Coulter
Lesner (I just am interested in how far he will get in this sport)
Henderson

Did you read my reply in which you brought it up?

You are so full of shit its coming out of your ears.....

YOU WERE PROVEN WRONG... re-read the post in which it happened.

To everyone except Stoner....

My favorites are, in this order:

Fedor Emilianenko
Mark Coleman
Mark Hunt
Don Frye

[Stoner]

Forrest Griffen


Griffen is one bad dude. I was shocked he knocked off Rampage.

Now that I can agree with. ;)

[Milton Bradley]

I also have to list Fedor first. What can I say, the man is exciting to watch.


1) Fedor

Kazushi The Gracie Hunter Sakuraba ; Another great, dynamic fighter.

Anderson Silva

Brandon Vera

Mauricio Shogun Jua

Gomi

Frank Mir

Dan Henderson

Quinton Rampage Jackson

Josh Burkman


To name a few...


Incidentally, I have to side with Osborn about the BJJ. Sakuraba exposed the weaknesses present in the Gracie system, and it's out there for everyone to see.
